4. Installation Instructions

The Mayfair Bennett Toilet Seat features the STAY-TITE Seat Fastening System for a secure installation that prevents loosening. Follow these steps for quick and easy setup:

1. Prepare the Toilet: Remove your old toilet seat. Clean the toilet bowl area thoroughly where the new seat will be installed.
2. Insert Bolts: Thread the bolts (A) into the hinges on the new toilet seat. Ensure they are fully inserted.
3. Position Seat: Place the toilet seat onto the toilet bowl, aligning the bolts with the holes in the bowl.
4. Attach Washers and Nuts: From the underside of the toilet bowl, slide the washers onto the bolts, followed by the nuts (C).
5. Finger Tighten: Finger tighten the nuts until the seat is snug.
6. Final Tightening (STAY-TITE System): Use a 1/2 inch (13 mm) wrench or socket to tighten the nuts further. The STAY-TITE system is designed to achieve precision torque, ensuring the seat remains firmly attached without over-tightening. Tighten until the nut snaps off, indicating optimal torque.

5. Operation (Slow-Close Feature)

The Mayfair Bennett Toilet Seat is equipped with Whisper Close hinges, providing a slow and quiet closing action for both the lid and the seat. This feature prevents slamming, reduces noise, and protects fingers from being pinched.

• To close the lid or seat, simply push it down gently. The slow-close mechanism will engage, allowing it to descend smoothly and quietly on its own.
• The slow-close mechanism functions best when the seat is properly installed on the toilet bowl.

6. Maintenance & Cleaning

To preserve the glossy finish and extend the life of your Mayfair Bennett Toilet Seat, follow these cleaning guidelines:

• Clean regularly with mild soapy water, dish soap, or water wipes.

7. Troubleshooting

Seat is Loose or Wiggles:

• Ensure the STAY-TITE nuts are fully tightened. The system is designed to snap off when the correct torque is reached, providing a secure fit. If the nuts did not snap during initial installation, re-tighten them using a 1/2 inch (13 mm) wrench until they do.
• Check that the bolts are properly aligned with the toilet bowl holes.

Slow-Close Feature Not Working Properly:

• Verify that the toilet seat is correctly installed and securely fastened to the toilet bowl. Improper installation can affect the slow-close mechanism.
• Ensure no obstructions are preventing the lid or seat from closing smoothly.
• Avoid forcing the lid or seat down, as this can damage the slow-close mechanism over time.
